Indicative of the patriotism with which the people of the country are responding to the celebration, Bloom says, is the fact that newspaper clip- pings from papers received at the com- | mission heacdquarters show that nearly 14,000 individual stories were published in papers all over the country on last Sunday alone. “We are receiving complaints,” Bloom said, “from agitated =orrespondents whose letters we have been delaying an- swering, and we are growing tired of making excuses.

Presents Indiana Plea. Senator Fess laid before the Senate resolutions adopted by the Indiana Bi- centennial group urging the National Commission to concentrate its efforts on supplying such literature to the country, even if some other features of the commission’s program have to be abandoned. In presenting the Indiana resolutions Senator +Fess again reminded his col- leagues that the Budget Bureau rec- ommended considerably more for con- tinuing the work of the National Com- mission than has been approved at this session. The budget, he said, allowed $427,000 ‘925& Tourist Fare in Tourist Sleeper plus berth fare. for the commission. The House cut this figure to $250,000, and the Senate made a further cut to $200,000. The item is still in conference in the deficiency bill, within a few days. Publication Authorised. The Senate passed a bill making minor changes in the law authorizing the Bicentennial Commission to publish the complete writings of George Wash- ington in a set of 25 volumes. The amendment merely fixed July 1 as the date within which libraries ‘and other institutions may order sets of the books, Under this bill the sets would be fur~ nished libraries for $50, and any re- maining sets would be disposed of at an amount that would cover the re- mainder of the cost of the,publication Same Low Fare East- bound...
